Fathers

Fatherhood can be challenging, especially when trying to find the right balance between administering discipline and extending grace. Where one child may become exasperated by correction, another may need diligent instruction. In this sermon, Alistair Begg encourages fathers to love their children unconditionally in the same way our heavenly Father loves us—even if the benefits aren’t seen until they are united with Christ in eternity.

Series: The Christian Family

Other messages in: The Christian Family

In God’s plan for the Christian family, all members affirm that Jesus is Lord through their submission to and love for one another. Together, husbands and wives set the tone, displaying their love for Christ in giving themselves to the privileges and responsibilities of marriage. Children in turn display their understanding of Jesus’ lordship by respecting and obeying their parents. When everyone in the family follows this biblical mandate, it makes for healthy churches and stable societies.

In this study from Colossians 3, Alistair Begg reminds us that the Gospel not only alters our standing before God, but also redefines our relationships with everyone and everything. This transformation shapes how we serve our families, enabling us to model Christ’s love for His Church to our friends and neighbors as we live out the lordship of Jesus in our homes.
